Depends on who has homecourt, if Phx does, I would probably say them in 7.

Billups would shred Nash apart

Warriors are better than the Suns. But Lakers will clobber them anyways in the 2nd round.

wow I didn't know people think the Warriors do bad against the Suns.

Although the Suns did play good against the Warriors without Shawn Marion. Baron Davis would always torch Shawn Marion when he was on the Suns.

If it started today would that include injuries also, because then the Jazz would be heavily favored over the Parkerless Spurs.

The Suns have beaten the Lakers 2 years in a row


Now, I'm not saying the same will happen this year, the Lakers are better than ever, but until they actually beat the Suns in the playoffs, you can't criticize people for picking the Suns over the Lakeshow.

I stll feel a healthy Cavs squad can take the East with the level LeBron's playing at, assuming he still has legs come post season time. I'm praying for a Kobe vs. Bron Finals, although I doubt either team will make it in reality. Look for KG and Duncan in the Finals, Spurs in 6.

In reality Lebron has no chance of making it, while Kobe has realistic possibility. As in it wouldn't be a HUGE shock or upset if the lakers were in the finals.

You realize the Jazz have won 18 of 21 and are only a game back of San Antonio.

In a 7 game series with Stoudamire or Vaughn at the PG you would ahve to think the Jazz would have a very strong chance.

TP is back for today's game vs Charlotte. Meaning he would be back for a theoretical series against you guys.

What's funny is, he had them beating SA(who dominated them) and losing to NO(who they dominate)

In the 2 games this season where the Lakers had Bynum... They beat the Suns pretty easily. Now I realize that the dynamics have changed, (Bynums health, Pau Gasol, Shaq) but I think the odds weigh pretty heavily in the Lakers favor. Not only should Bynum be healthy come playoff time, Pau Gasol has been even better than people expected. And who knows how Shaq is gonna play in Phoenix's offense.
